And of course we'll listen to 46 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 5: Leguard at the press conference for guidance on the cadence 47 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 5: of cuts. Can we expect them quarterly? Is it a 48 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 5: case that they cut today and pause and go back 49 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 5: to day to dependence. 50 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 2: Bloomberg's Lizzie Burden notes the ECB has held it's rated 51 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,119 Speaker 2: a record high four percent for nine months. 52 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: Well, Nathan, As we await the ECB decision, Global bonds 53 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: are on their longest winning streak of the year.

As a result, sovereign 58 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 6: bond returns rose for a fifth straight session. Another day 59 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 6: of gains would mark the best run since November. VESA 60 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 6: is trying to capture those bond yields before the Central 61 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 6: Bank start cutting. Well, just yesterday, the Bank of Canada 62 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,519 Speaker 6: decided to ease and software than expended. US economic data 63 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 6: suggests the Fed may cut rates two times before year end, 64 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 6: and the winning streak extends beyond bonds. The S and 65 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 6: P five hundred hit its twenty fifth record this year, 66 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 6: the NANSDEK one hundred climbed two percent, and if history 67 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 6: is any guide, more stock gains may be on the way. 68 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 6: Since nineteen twenty eight, the first fifteen days of July 69 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 6: have been the best two week trading period for the 70 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 6: year for equities. John Tucker, Bloomberg Radio. 71 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 2: All right, John, thanks. Helping to lead this current stock 72 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 2: rally is Nvidia.

Steve Sosnick is chief strategists at Interactive Brokers. 74 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 7: As early as like February twenty three, I did account 75 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 7: how many times I use the word AI in their 76 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 7: conference call. 77 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 4: It was like eighty two times or something. 78 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 7: But they leaned into it early. Once this AI became 79 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 7: the investment theme, in Vidia became the stock to watch. 80 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 7: But at this point, right now, my thesis is it's 81 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 7: in Vidia's market. We're all just trading in it. 82 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 2: The Interactive Brokers Steve Sasnik notes shares in the AI 83 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 2: chip giant have gained some one hundred and forty percent 84 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 2: this year, making in Nvidia now more valuable than Apple. 85 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: Well Nathan, another member of the three trillion dollar club, 86 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 1: is also in the spotlight. The Wall Street Journal is 87 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: reporting US regulators are investigating whether a deal Microsoft struck 88 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 1: with AI startup Inflection may have been structured to avoid scrutiny. 89 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: Back in March, Microsoft agreed to pay Inflection six hundred 90 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: and fifty million dollars to license its AI software after 91 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 1: the company moved to hire much of its staff. The 92 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: journal says the Federal Trade Commission is now seeking information 93 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: about how they negotiate that partnership and. 94 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 2: Karen the tech investigations might not end there.

Their views 129 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 9: on abortion are extreme and radical. Every Democrat in this 130 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 9: body has voted repeatedly in favor of unlimited abortion on demand, 131 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 9: literally up until the moment of birth. 132 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 8: Democrats argued women should have the right to birth control 133 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 8: and believe the overturning of Roe versus Wade could jeopardize 134 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 8: other reproductive rights.

This is not an 146 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 10: issue that they can raise to a higher court. They're 147 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 10: going to have to wait and see if under the 148 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 10: Georgia Court of Appeal Order Finnie Willis, the district attorney 149 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,559 Speaker 10: who brought these charges, could even stay on this case. 150 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 8: Meanwhile, in another court victory for the former president, Florida, 151 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 8: Federal Judge Eileen Kennon postponed the schedule in Trump's Maury 152 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 8: Lago classified documents case.

Good morning, I'm 205 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 13: Nathan Hager. World leaders are gathering in Normandy, France, to 206 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 13: mark eighty years since the Allies stormed the beaches and 207 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 13: turned the tide against the Nazis. It is a chance 208 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 13: for those Allies, including President Biden, to reaffirm their support 209 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 13: today as Europe faces its biggest conflict since World War 210 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 13: Two in Russia's war with Ukraine. For more, we are 211 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 13: joined by Bloomberg News Paris bureau chief Alan Katz, who 212 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 13: is with us from our newsroom in the French capital. 213 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 2: Alan, Good morning. The historical sweep of this gathering eighty 214 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 2: years after D Day is certainly significant. Set the scene 215 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 2: for us. What are we expecting from today's observances. 216 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 11: Well, today is mostly going to be about the ceremony 217 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 11: as you said, it's the eightieth anniversary. So there are 218 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 11: several veterans, both the British, American, Canadian and all the 219 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 11: Allies who did storm the beaches back in D Day, 220 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 11: and they're all around one hundred years old now, so 221 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 11: this is sort of the last time that they expect 222 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 11: there to be such a big gathering of veterans left 223 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 11: from the D Day assault. And so you have right now, 224 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 11: you have King Charles from the UK giving a speech 225 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 11: at the moment, at around twelve thirty, Joe Biden. President 226 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 11: Biden will give a speech for the US commemoration, and 227 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 11: then this afternoon there'll be an international commemoration bringing together 228 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 11: all of the Allies and even some opponents from the time, 229 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 11: including German cent or Off Schultz. That will be around 230 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 11: three thirty this afternoon, and so there'll be a series 231 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 11: of again mostly commemorative events. Joe Biden is speaking with 232 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 11: veterans this morning before a weeflying ceremony before his speech. 233 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 11: It will be largely ceremonial today, with many of the 234 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 11: speeches talking about how they need to come together, how 235 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 11: they need to help, democracies need to unite in the 236 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 11: face of authoritarianism again. Both said, but largely unsaid will 237 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 11: be the connection between the fight back then and Ukraine's 238 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 11: fight against Russia today. 239 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 2: We should note Paris is six hours ahead of the 240 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 2: East coast in the US. We're expecting that speech from 241 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 2: President Biden around six thirty am Wall Street time, and 242 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 2: we've gotten something of a preview allent of what the 243 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 2: President plans to say, as you alluded to, sort of 244 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 2: tying the conflict from World War Two to what he 245 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 2: sees as a fight to defend democracy today. It's a 246 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 2: fight that he helps resonates with voters as he prepares 247 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 2: for a rematch against former President Donald Trump. 248 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 11: That's true. I mean he's unlikely to bring up Trump 249 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 11: directly in the speech, particularly in the one today. He's 250 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 11: giving some other speeches tomorrow which might be a little 251 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 11: bit more explicitly political. But again, even just bringing up 252 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 11: the idea that you need to unite, work with your 253 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 11: allies to stand up against tyranny and authoritarianism are sort 254 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 11: of veiled attempts to draw a different sort of distinction 255 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 11: between him and the former president Donald Trump. Trump was 256 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 11: here for the seventy fifth anniversary, so five years ago. 257 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 11: At the time, he publicly at least supported American veterans 258 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 11: from D Day, but really made no comment or didn't 259 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 11: even mention sort of allies and institutions that were created 260 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 11: by the United States following World War Two to try 261 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 11: to sort of keep the peace after World War Two. 262 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 11: And so Biden's really going to try to show that 263 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 11: he's a different kind of leader, that he's the leader 264 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 11: of the United States, but also the leader of a 265 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 11: broader group of allies that can come together in times 266 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 11: of crisis. 267 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 2: From the European perspective, alan how do leaders feel about 268 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 2: the relationship with the US right now, particularly given all 269 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 2: the strife that we saw around support for Ukraine militarily 270 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 2: in Congress just a couple of months ago. 271 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 11: It varies from country to country, but France, for example, 272 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 11: has been quite worried about it actually, and if you 273 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 11: listen to President Macall, French President of Vanue McColl's speeches 274 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 11: over the last month or two, he's painted quite a 275 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 11: disturbing picture of worry about whether or not the US 276 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 11: will continue to be there. And his argument has been 277 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 11: that Europe needs to, you know, master its own defense, 278 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 11: and in order to be sort of the master of 279 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 11: its future, has to create a common defense program that 280 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 11: could protect a country like Ukraine against against Russian aggression. 281 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 11: He didn't call out Biden on the defense part of it, 282 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 11: because Biden has been much more supportive of NATO, But 283 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 11: his basic point is that after Trump's presidency, you just 284 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 11: can't be sure how the United States is going to 285 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 11: proceed again. There hasn't been much, I guess explicitly on 286 00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 11: the delay in Congress on reauthorizing the aid TO, but 287 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 11: it did help play into this idea that the US 288 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 11: has become, while it was sort of the ultimate security 289 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 11: blanket for your for decades and decades following World War Two, 290 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 11: that things are changing and that Europe needs to be 291 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 11: ready for it. 292 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 2: This is Bloomberg day Break Today, your morning brief on 293 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 2: the stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 294 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: Look for us on your podcast feed at six am 295 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you 296 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: get your podcasts. 297 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 2: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 298 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 2: am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 299 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 2: in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, 300 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 2: Bloomberg one oh six to one in Boston, and Bloomberg 301 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 2: ninety sixty in San Francisco. 302 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: Our flagship New York station is also available on your 303 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: Amazon Alexa devices.
